Rhododendron fertilization is usually done in spring and autumn, and thin cake fertilizer water is used for watering during the growth period. Supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before flowering and nitrogen fertilizer after flowering. Watering methods are different in different seasons. Watering should be sufficient in spring and autumn to keep the soil moist, while watering should be less in winter. Replace the soil every spring. Take the plant out of the pot, remove some of the old soil, and plant it in a new pot. You can add some base fertilizer. After filling the soil, compact it and water it thoroughly. After it is in the pot, it can be maintained normally.

1. Fertilization

1. Fertilization

Fertilizing azaleas is usually done in spring and autumn. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will enter a semi-dormant state, which is not conducive to the absorption of fertilizers. When fertilizing in the spring growth period, use thin cake fertilizer and water. You can add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which is more conducive to flowering. After flowering in autumn, nitrogen fertilizer should be added once, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added during the flower bud differentiation period to help bloom in the second year.

2. Watering

Watering The water should change according to time. Water enough during the growth period to keep the pot soil moist, which is more suitable for its growth. Watering should be controlled during the flowering period to avoid flooding the roots. Resume watering after flowering to replenish the water consumed by flowering. Water less in winter, once a week and keep it slightly dry. If the water quality is alkaline, you need to add white vinegar or ferrous sulfate to treat it. At the same time, the water temperature should not be too low and needs to be close to room temperature.

3. Change the soil

Cuckoo Flowers are usually replaced with soil in spring. Control the water before changing the soil to make it easier for the plants and pots to separate. After removing it from the pot, remove some of the old soil and plant it in a new pot. The new pot needs to be of a suitable size, and at the same time, it should be padded with tiles at the bottom to increase drainage. You can also add a little cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. After planting, fill in the soil, compact it and water it thoroughly. Wait for about half a month to a month before taking it into the pot, and then it can be maintained normally.
